From Parker J. Palmer:

(1) Don’t give advice, unless someone insists. Instead, be fully present, listen deeply, and ask the kind of questions that give the other a chance to express more of his or her own truth, whatever it may be.

(2) If you find yourself receiving unwanted advice from someone close to you, smile and ask politely if you can pay a little less this month.
